Anonymous Coward (OP) User ID: 563638 United States 12/16/2008 12:33 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Hillary’s Nuclear Umbrella Now sources claim that President-elect Obama will promise to retaliate against Iran if Tehran attacks Israel with nuclear weapons. Offering Israel a nuclear umbrella is a slightly abbreviated version of a campaign promise by Senator Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama’s primary opponent and now secretary of state-designate. She bluntly stated: “Iran must know that an attack on Israel will draw a massive response.” Indeed, she added, “we would be able to totally obliterate them.” But Senator Clinton didn’t stop with Israel. She advocated providing “a deterrent backup” for Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and other Arab countries. Opening America’s nuclear umbrella over Israel, and even more so over additional nations located in such a volatile region, is one of the nuttier proposals to emerge from the 2008 election. First, why even broach such an idea when Tehran appears to be nowhere close to developing nuclear weapons? U.S. intelligence officials have reaffirmed their judgment that Iran has not restarted its earlier program, and the International Atomic Energy Agency’s Mohammed ElBaradei recently observed that the Iranians “do not have even the nuclear material, the raw unenriched uranium to develop one nuclear weapon if they decide to do so.” The issue of a nuclear umbrella would be relevant only if Iran had nuclear weapons. Second, Israel already possesses a nuclear arsenal estimated at one hundred fifty to two hundred weapons. The reason Israel developed them was to ensure its military superiority in any conflict. Should Tehran be foolish enough to initiate a war with Israel, it would ensure its own destruction. If Iranian leaders won’t be deterred by the prospect of Israeli retaliation, they won’t be concerned about Washington’s response either. continued [link to www.nationalinterest.org] |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 570749'If God inspires you to help His Kingdom, click Donate.' yeah I'm not saying this man is a "Prophet", or not. However I'm finding it interesting he is getting so much media attention about it. I am wondering since the media had had many stories lately about Obama will be tested soon, and all the stories about nuclear was in the news. Do you think tptb are planning a nuclear attack soon? It may not be before Christmas like this man says, but it would not surprise me if it does happen before June 2009..... |
